Misshomer | From Tiananmen to Anti-ELAB: My lingering fear from 30 years of protesting

I overheard a boy, probably six years old, ask his father, “Are there any police? Are we safe here?” How do we tell them that the police, supposedly trained to protect, have become a political tool to wipe us out, their fellow citizens?

8奇AlphaGo ｜ The power of interactive stories - a small spark can start a great fire

‘I'm a Prostitute’ is an interactive story where the sequel is to be written by all Hongkongers. Human talent is the most critical asset; to lose just one is to lose a lot. I hope that each fellow supporter can safely write along with us to the end, to successfully fight for the five demands and democracy, to liberate Hong Kong and restore its old charm, to no longer be subjected to the CCP’s governance and regain freedom.

【SHARED】"I’m a prostitute. Today, I want to share with you the story of my life."

Hello, I am a prostitute, or a ‘whore’ if you prefer. I don’t mind either way, since I know that I’m not worthy of love: I have no soul, nor a free will; the only thing left for me is my body in exchange for money.

【SHARED】Ah Ming | The Chosen Generation—19 year old’s story of the PolyU siege

The time has chosen our generation to fight. We are the chosen ones.

It is destiny that brought us to this troubled time. As the chosen generation, I don’t see this as a sacrifice, but as our obligation to society. As a HongKonger, I am obligated to not only protect my home, but also to defend justice.

Walned | Alumnus delivering supplies into CUHK: “Anyone with a sense of humanity will do the same.”

We almost gave up because of the deep and unsettling sense of fear, yet a voice within told us to go back without wasting another second. I can’t understand how Hong Kong became such a city... On my way back to CUHK, images of the Tiananmen Square massacre continued to replay in my mind. Was it deja vu, or had I lost my sanity?

Jade | Canadian-HKer reconnecting with Hong Kong: “I felt isolated navigating my identity and politics.”

Born and raised in Canada, I have friends from a diverse ethnic background. It’s hard for them to understand why I feel so strongly about Hong Kong. I tried my best to raise awareness on what was happening, but I always criticized myself wondering, “Am I annoying?”

I felt isolated navigating my identity and politics. I hope that people from Hong Kong will see me as one of them even though I wasn’t born or raised there.

J T | Student Medic: “When I put on my first aider vest, people are looking at me as a source of light.”

In their darkest hour, they see my vest and think that their savior is here. At some point we will win this war, so we shouldn’t lose hope. “Dare to reach your hands into darkness, to pull another to light.” — this is a quote I uphold all the time.
